Spoke to the nice lady at apple today about ordering the spec i posted and she said, as soon as your ready to go ahead we can finalise details and i can sort you out some discount..

I said discount... sounds good to me - what we talking.

She said half price RAM upgrade

That means a saving of £75 for me

Sounds good!
However, I would pick my Mac with the lowest ram so I can upgrade by myself. It will be a lot cheaper than the AppleStore. But that's why they gave you the discount on ram, I guess.
Finalize it and send us a short review.

Some bugger in my department received his iMac about 2 weeks ago. It's just like yours, iMac G5 20" with all the works. Felt like kicking his teeth in as he never stops smiling now

A bit violent

- where's the love for your fellow Mac user?

hehe, I only love other Mac fellows that are worse equipped (in terms of mac hardware).

I know it's violent, and at most times, I wouldn't agree with violence. But in this case, I'll make an exception

. The sight of a row of gleaming white teeth every day is just too much to bear!

Hehe, I agree with Zammy there. Love them when they are worse equipped, not when they've got better machines.

Does he use it to his potential? Where I work PB 15's and 17s come in all the time for staff members who use MS word and nothing else. Its really hard handing it over to them.
